Yes, Professor Eldryd Parry is alive and well, and very much involved in THET’s continuing work. And he still has a soft spot for Ahmadu Bello and Ibadan!

Dear Tessa,

This is definitely very nice and the links or supports can make a lot of difference to the primary health care delivery in the developing countries and much more others especially the training one is very important.

In Nepal, Oxford University (UK) is helping to train the doctor (PhD) and the non-governmental organization Nick Simon’s Institute (http://www.nsi.edu.np/nsi/index.php)is doing very good job.

Hope this continues.

Best wishes,
mati

Tessa Richard’s Blog on THET makes interesting reading but I am not surprised that THET has grown from strength to strength. I wonder if Professor Eldryd Parry, the Founder of THET is still actively involved. Those of us who read his book on Tropical diseases in the 1970s, which he wrote when he was in University of Ibadan and Ahmadu Bello University, both in Nigeria, have always seen him as our Role Model. The CPD programme that the BMJ West Africa edition has been championing in that most deprived subregion with the highest burden of diseases, morbidity and mortality in the world, takes a lot of inspiration from THET. Long may its good work for health in Africa live!!.
